In 1961, Stanislaw Rozewicz created the novella film "Birth Certificate" in cooperation with his brother, Taduesz Rozewicz as screenwriter. Such brother tandems are rare in the history of film but aside from family ties, Stanislaw (born in 1924) and Taduesz (born in 1921) were mutually bound by their love for the cinema. They were born and grew up in Radomsk, a small town which had "its madmen and its saints" and most importanly, the "Kinema" cinema, as Stanislaw recalls: for him cinema is "heaven, the whole world, enchantment". Tadeusz says he considers cinema both a charming market stall and a mysterious temple. "All this savage land has always attracted and fascinated me," he says. "I am devoured by cinema and I devour cinema; I'm a cinema eater." But Taduesz Rozewicz, an eminent writer, admits this unique form of cooperation was a problem to him: "It is the presence of the other person not only in the process of writing, but at its very core, which is inserperable for me from absolute solitude." Some scenes the brothers wrote together; others were created by the writer himself, following discussions with the director. But from the perspective of time, it is "Birth Certificate", rather than "Echo" or "The Wicked Gate", that Taduesz describes as his most intimate film. This is understandable. The tradgey from September 1939 in Poland was for the Rozewicz brothers their personal "birth certificate". When working on the film, the director said "This time it is all about shaking off, getting rid of the psychological burden which the war was for all of us. ... Cooperation with my brother was in this case easier, as we share many war memories. We wanted to show to adult viewers a picture of war as seen by a child. ... In reality, it is the adults who created the real world of massacres. Children beheld the horrors coming back to life, exhumed from underneath the ground, overwhelming the earth."
The principle of composition of "Birth Certificate" is not obvious. When watching a novella film, we tend to think in terms of traditional theatre. We expect that a miniature story will finish with a sharp point; the three film novellas in Rozewicz's work lack this feature. We do not know what will be happen to the boy making his alone through the forest towards the end of "On the Road". We do not know whether in "Letter from the Camp", the help offered by the small heroes to a Soviet prisoner will rescue him from the unknown fate of his compatriots. The fate of the Jewish girl from "Drop of Blood" is also unclear. Will she keep her new impersonation as "Marysia Malinowska"? Or will the Nazis make her into a representative of the "Nordic race"? Those questions were asked by the director for a reason. He preceived war as chaos and perdition, and not as linear history that could be reflected in a plot. Although "Birth Certificate" is saturated with moral content, it does not aim to be a morality play. But with the immense pressure of reality, no varient of fate should be excluded. This approached can be compared wth Krzysztof Kieslowski's "Blind Chance" 25 years later, which pictured dramatic choices of a different era.
The film novella "On the Road" has a very sparing plot, but it drew special attention of the reviewers. The ominating overtone of the war films created by the Polish Film School at that time should be kept in mind. Mainly owing to Wajda, those films dealt with romantic heritage. They were permeated with pathos, bitterness, and irony. Rozewicz is an extraordinary artist. When narrating a story about a boy lost in a war zone, carrying some documents from the regiment office as if they were a treasure, the narrator in "On the Road" discovers rough prose where one should find poetry. And suddenly, the irrational touches this rather tame world. The boy, who until that moment resembled a Polish version of the Good Soldier Schweik, sets off, like Don Quixote, for his first and last battle. A critic described it as "an absurd gesture and someone else could surely use it to criticise the Polish style of dying. ... But the Rozewicz brothers do no accuse: they only compose an elegy for the picturesque peasant-soldier, probably the most important veteran of the Polish war of 1939-1945." "Birth Certificate" is not a lofty statement about national imponderabilia. The film reveals a plebeian perspective which Aleksander Jackieqicz once contrasted with those "lyrical lamentations" inherent in the Kordian tradition. However, a historical overview of Rozewicz's work shows that the distinctive style does not signify a fundamental difference in illustrating the Polish September. Just as the memorable scene from Wajda's "Lotna" was in fact an expression of desperation and distress, the same emotions permeate the final scene of "Birth Certificate". These are not ideological concepts, though once described as such and fervently debated, but rather psychological creations. In this specific case, observes Witold Zalewski, it is not about manifesting knightly pride, but about a gesture of a simple man who does not agree to be enslaved.
The novella "Drop of Blood" is, with Aleksander Ford's "Border Street", one of the first narrations of the fate of the Polish Jews during the Nazi occupation. The story about a girl literally looking for her place on earth has a dramatic dimension. Especially in the age of today's journalistic disputes, often manipulative, lacking in empathy and imbued with bad will, Rozewicz's story from the past shocks with its authenticity. The small herione of the story is the only one who survives a German raid on her family home. Physical survial does not, however, mean a return to normality. Her frightened departure from the rubbish dump that was her hideout lead her to a ruined apartment. Her walk around it is painful because still fresh signs of life are mixed with evidence of annihilation. Help is needed, but Mirka does not know anyone in the outside world. Her subsequent attempts express the state of the fugitive's spirits - from hope and faith, moving to doubt, a sense of oppression, and thickening fear, and finally to despair.
At the same time, the Jewish girl's search for refuge resembles the state of Polish society. The appearance of Mirka results in confusion, and later, trouble. This was already signalled by Rozewicz in an exceptional scene from "Letter from the Camp" in which the boy's neighbour, seeing a fugitive Russian soldier, retreats immediately, admitting that "Now, people worry only about themselves." Such embarassing excuses mask fear. During the occupation, no one feels safe. Neither social status not the aegis of a charity organisation protects against repression. We see the potential guardians of Mirka passing her back and forth among themselves. These are friendly hands but they cannot offer strong support. The story takes place on that thin line between solidarity and heroism. Solidarity arises spontaneously, but only some are capable of heroism. Help for the girl does not always result from compassion; sometimes it is based on past relations and personal ties (a neighbour of the doctor takes in the fugitive for a few days because of past friendship). Rozewicz portrays all of this in a subtle way; even the smallest gesture has significance. Take, for example, the conversation with a stranger on the train: short, as if jotted down on the margin, but so full of tension. And earlier, a peculiar examination of Polishness: the "Holy Father" prayer forced on Mirka by the village boys to check that she is not a Jew. Would not rising to the challenge mean a death sentance?
Viewed after many years, "Birth Certificate" discloses yet another quality that is not present in the works of the Polish School, but is prominent in later B-class war films. This is the picture of everyday life during the war and occupation outlined in the three novellas. It harmonises with the logic of speaking about "life after life". Small heroes of Rozewicz suddenly enter the reality of war, with no experience or scale with which to compare it. For them, the present is a natural extension of and at the same time a complete negation of the past. Consider the sleey small-town marketplace, through which armoured columns will shortly pass. Or meet the German motorcyclists, who look like aliens from outer space - a picture taken from an autopsy because this is how Stanislaw and Taduesz perceived the first Germans they ever met. Note the blurred silhouettes of people against a white wall who are being shot - at first they are shocking, but soon they will probably become a part of the grim landscape. In the city centre stands a prisoner camp on a sodden bog ("People perish likes flies; the bodies are transported during the night"); in the street the childern are running after a coal wagon to collect some precious pieces of fuel. There's a bustle around some food (a boy reproaches his younger brother's actions by singing: "The warrant officer's son is begging in front of the church? I'm going to tell mother!"); and the kitchen, which one evening becomes the proscenium of a real drama. And there are the symbols: a bar of chocolate forced upon a boy by a Wehrmacht soldier ("On the Road"); a pair of shoes belonging to Zbyszek's father which the boy spontaneously gives to a Russian fugitive; a priceless slice of bread, ground under the heel of a policeman in the guter ("Letters from the Camp"). As the director put it: "In every film, I communicate my own vision of the world and of the people. Only then the style follows, the defined way of experiencing things." In Birth Certificate, he adds, his approach was driven by the subject: "I attempted to create not only the texture of the document but also to add some poetic element. I know it is risky but as for the merger of documentation and poety, often hidden very deep, if only it manages to make its way onto the screen, it results in what can referred to as 'art'."
After 1945, there were numerous films created in Europe that dealt with war and children, including "Somewhere in Europe" ("Valahol Europaban", 1947 by Geza Radvanyi), "Shoeshine" ("Sciescia", 1946 by Vittorio de Sica), and "Childhood of Ivan" ("Iwanowo dietstwo" by Andriej Tarkowski). Yet there were fewer than one would expect. Pursuing a subject so imbued with sentimentalism requires stylistic disipline and a special ability to manage child actors. The author of "Birth Certificate" mastered both - and it was not by chance. Stanislaw Rozewicz was always the beneficent spirit of the film milieu; he could unite people around a common goal. He emanated peace and sensitivity, which flowed to his co-workers and pupils. A film, being a group work, necessitates some form of empathy - tuning in with others.
In a biographical documentary about Stanislaw Rozewicz entitled "Walking, Meeting" (1999 by Antoni Krauze), there is a beautiful scene when the director, after a few decades, meets Beata Barszczewska, who plays Mireczka in the novella "Drops of Blood". The woman falls into the arms of the elderly man. They are both moved. He wonders how many years have passed. She answers: "A few years. Not too many." And Rozewicz, with his characteristic smile says: "It is true. We spent this entire time together."
黑客朋友真的太绝了！优惠券发家致富和返利的形式差不多！
《绝命毒师》之“绝命消费券师”。把一个欺诈故事拍得有种莫名的正义感，更把故事上升到要在世界发出声量的主旨- -从《舞女大盗》再到接下来Pete Davidson那部炒鞋的电影，STX这类“流行文化”犯罪式喜剧+电视/喜剧咖狂欢的组合驾轻就熟，也永远吃准人；作为假日电影，再好不过。Bell妞和Kirby恰好也在《善地》合作过，有火花，还圆上这是两人在剧集宇宙里“生前”的生活的另类想象；Paul Walter Hauser也再次证明自己值得一个单人的查案片，《库伊拉》后渐入佳境。整体卡司讨喜，让人放松- -对喜剧，也就这点奢望。
这么有特色的IP 为什么就编的这么垃圾！为什么！！！除了魔幻的画风，我找不到任何亮点。完全没有个院线电影的样子，就这故事线，怎么好意思出第二部？
没看过中国版本的，所以没有对比。但是韩国犯罪片总还是拍的扣人心弦的。
非常过瘾 韩国电影除了色调一秒拉观众入戏外 对节奏把控的太得心应手咯 和原版框架差不多 更亮眼的地方在几段追逐戏 虽然对剧情作用不大 也足够突出黄影帝的演技了 对于我这个黄政民的影迷来说 实在是爽 他的主角戏完全就是superhero的程度
还是很喜欢这个古怪的画风，动画版比真人版做得精致很多，无论是场景、建筑、人物和美国风土人情都有生动鲜活的展示，只不过从画风和幽默上都很非主流。特别是适合生活中一些样貌平平、个性孤僻、与众不同的人，让他们学会接受自己的另类，也提醒其他人尊重个体的差异和不同。这集更开启美国公路之旅，横穿美国多个景点和城市，一路上又遇到更多怪人怪事。
冷饭，就着爆米花和快乐肥宅水服下，无脑小白片，看看热闹，怀怀旧，FIN...
边运动边看的，还算有趣，但不是我想要的阴森森的亚当斯一家……
节日电影 像road trip宣传片 没之前的好看 暗黑哥特的元素应该再多点
情怀为主，亚当斯一家永远棒。第二集的确剧情很弱，突如其来亲生鉴定，姐姐迷茫，问题产生逻辑太弱（仅仅因为父亲太傻嘛？）但公路片豪华房车亮点也有。管家呆萌无限，入座弹琴一秒优雅。倒是不喜欢亚当斯一家融入人类，他们就该保持哥特。
看着很有趣也很好笑的电影，轻松开朗诙谐快乐的电影。沉浸之后甚至有点希望这门生意不被抓到。男主好帅好帅，有这样高大壮帅的老公，无论如何我都不会难过伤心的。
意料之外的有意思，一个家庭主妇和一个女屌丝的消费券犯罪“帝国”，以《猫鼠游戏》式的结构呈现了一个女性主义的犯罪故事，保罗·沃尔特·豪泽的角色实在是太逗了！
今年在影院睡的最香的一场 一觉醒来直接大团圆放字幕/与前作差的不是一点半点 开始炒冷饭拼桥段了
挺轻松的，其他都一般，在“真实故事改编”这一系列中，较弱。。。
赚钱的门路很多，赚不到的确是脑子不够使……
没有第一部拍的好 动漫化的人物还没真人版好看 但是同时也以讽刺手法 体现了很多社会当下的问题 生恩和养恩的对比 还有如何泡妹 还有心理问题 沟通问题 父母的责任 对孩子的保护 科技发展 人非人 动物非动物 还有打篮球的元素 我喜欢 鱿鱼和火鸡的对决 还有rap
电影里的犯罪手法没有真实事件的精彩，导演想塞点东西在里面，可是也就这样，后面胖子他们一路上破案很无聊，一点都不刺激
除了同是明星被綁架這個大命題外，和原作有任何關係嗎？
中规中矩的喜剧，那个配角胖子（乡下人的悲歌的主角）其实挺讨厌的，据说是真实事件改编，美帝的生活早就不应该这样存续下去了，浪费地球上多少资源
伪纪录片的质感都没了，黄政民演黄政民变成了敷衍的噱头。
